Safranine has recently been found to be poisonous,*lining-material dyed therewith having produced a peculiareruption on the skin. In combination with sundry dye-stuffs, such as MethyleneBlue, Safranine is fairly fast, and is largely used in cottondyeing and calico printing. When Safranine is diazotised, and then exposed to theaction of ^-naphthol, it furnishes an azo dye-stuff, exhibiting * According to Th. Weil [Zeits. f.
